Memento Mori
*This is my own take on the rather chilling Victorian type of post mortem photography. The model is alive and well and can often be found potting tomato plants in our garden.
About Memento Mori Photography:
Before their burial, the deceased would be photographed in their best clothes and 'posing' (propped up) with their living relatives. In some instances, eyes were painted onto the closed eyelids of the deceased to make them appear alive. In Victorian times when photographs were rare, this might be the only photo the family had of their dearly departed.
